- Pen 12 is the most southerly of the pens on the western side of the airfield and faces east.
- Today, the pen is complete apart from the front brick walls of each arm and the entire centre wall section.
- The pen is of the smaller type found at Kenley, the original two bays would have been approximately 16.5m x 16.5m each.
- Large steel doors secure the all three doorways.
- All three doorways have single-element lintels.
- The rear retaining wall is of concrete construction.
- Access to the rear doorway is via a concrete slope faced by a single thickness brick cladding.
- Each bay has a soakaway drain situated in the interior corner where the side wall meets the rear. A drainage channel of 0.25m width runs the length of the side wall and leads into the drain.
- There is a rectangular concrete construction on the left arm which would have housed an anti-aircraft machine gun.
- The interior shelter is of unknown construction.
- The centre arm end wall had a buttress fitted for additional strength.
